No, it's an engine out job even to get the top breather cover off of the 750/4.

I can  :o

Good work, and nice when you can get a problem competently sorted out like that.

Often viewed a s difficult to take these engine out as it seems a bigger task than necessary, but some modern bike and car are so much more difficult to access than these relatively simple era bikes.
